(WJCL) - Saturday, a Puppy Palooza took place at the Wilmington Island Farmers' Market, all in the spirit of Easter. At the market was Southeastern Guide Dogs – a non-profit that raises and trains puppies to become compassionate companions for the blind and for our nation's veterans. The market put on puppy nail trimming, massages and selfies for the pooches. A representative for the organization says events like this are great for the puppy's training. "The farmers' market here on Wilmington Island has been incredibly supportive for us. We have the opportunity to expose our puppies here to socialize them to everyday situations. To make them successful once they become working dogs," says Kerstin Ramus, one of the Savannah puppy raisers for Southeastern Guide Dogs. For the kids at the farmers’ market, there was a dog-themed bounce house, face painting, story time and crafts.
